I thought Einstein was our major hero.

I dunno, Feynman was pretty awesome. As well as being charismatic and equipped with many interesting skills, he is known as one of the greatest teachers of physics ever.

Galileo has to rank near the top being one of (if not) the first to systematically use mathematics to model the physical world.

Feynman's other book, What Do You Care What Other People Think is also a great read. He was a true original. :cool:

I have just finished (as of about an hour and a half ago) "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynmann". It's a great read. Has anyone read his anthology of speeches, "The Pleasure of Finding Things Out"? That's also very interesting.

What Do You Care What Other People Think was good, but kind of depressing, don't you think?

I also liked his 6 lectures "The nature of physical laws".
